Right, it’s looking increasingly likely to be on Sundays unless there is a flurry of votes for a different day in the next few days, in which case the first event will be on Feb 7th.
Full details of The BSOP will go up when the TREMENDOUSLY EXCITING trophy and medals arrive for people to get excited about.
In other voting news, this is your last day to vote in the Poll of 2009! Look out for Bothers Bar’s Poll Extra results post after the main write-up goes up on UKGameshows.com this week.
I thought I’d begin with this post by Greg Lowe, which rather unfairly got swallowed by the Spam filter yesterday:

The first episode of Solitary Brazil is up for viewing on the offical site (it is not region locked).
Also RTE have now launched an international player with this weeks episodes of Winning Streak to view
Hmm.
It’s Schlag den Raab this evening for €1.5m! And here is a special place for people to talk about it if they want. Also: posting up links to naughty live streaming.
It begins at 8:15 European time on ProSieben, that’s 7:15 in the UK.
This Friday I get all medieval on yo’ ass with some old new thrills, namely the transcript of the Crystal Maze episode of Maid Marian and her Merry Men and a dissection of the 2004 Knightmare VR Pilot (one of my oldest features, that). And if you prefer a bit of comedy, there’s a transcript of the first episode of You Don’t Know Jack, and if you’re excited about the prospect of playing Wanted with little men and tape measures, you’re in luck this weekend as well.
Don’t forget it’s Schlag den Raab tomorrow, it will be getting its own post.
And look! I’m now gauging interest for The BSOP 2010!
More Wipeout season three dripfeeding.
Quite difficult to make out what’s on the screens this time though. Roll-on the Summer.
Time’s almost up for the 2009 Poll! Make sure you get your votes in by Sunday! It is unbelievably nip and tuck between two shows in the Golden Fiver, and the hunt to make the top five in the other categories is very tight.
And may as well give it a front page berthing, Accumulate! Is! Back! For the first semi-final.
Plus! I’m taking requests for the next batch of old Weekend Specials to go up at the weekend. We will start doing new features again soon as well.
New! I’ll promote this to the front page, because it’s fun. Chris M Dickson writes:
A friend suggests the next great Twitter game: #gameshowfilms – film titles adapted to include game show titles – and starts us off with Catchphrase Me If You Can. Can we do better? My contribution is SpiderMan O Man, or perhaps Austin Powers in Going for Goldmember.
I’m convinced you won’t beat Y Briodas Fawr-ther of the Bride, but you’re welcome to try.
I know there are people interested in doing this again, I’m just doing a final bit of research and hopefully the details will be up by the end of the month, with a view to starting in February. $10 + $1 likely to be the usual buy-in this time around.
It’s likely to be fortnightly over six months. You won’t need to play in every event to win. It’s also going to be on one of the big sites, so fingers crossed we won’t get messed around like last year.
